Not so much 'eating right now' as 'waiting for the bloody thing to cook'. There's a beef stew in the slow cooker which smells nice but the potatoes are like little icebergs. Maybe I should have boiled them a bit first

Edit - never mind, another hour and the potatoes are pretty tasty

I love bacon. I cook a pound of bacon a week on Monday or Tuesday;carefully cut the slices in half, and load them in a folded paper towelplaced in a plastic sandwich bag, which I keep in the fridge...

These I call "Bacon cartridges". I take a few pieces out every day anduse them for my general cooking; adding them to omelettes, pastas(Hail, His Noodly Goodness !), vegetable dishes, and to mushrooms, which I also use almost every day in dishes. I love mushrooms. Ilove bacon. Mushrooms and bacon together are *awesome*.

I cook for 3 of us though, so I'm not eating a whole pound of baconall by myself every week.

You know you've done it right when you don't even consider using a napkin afterwards, you just go straight to the sink and hose off.

Thought about doing that. Of course, given my finances, my burritos are 8 to a package and frozen. But I cover them with a mound of whatever I have in my fridge that will go well with them, plus a heaping helping of raw salsa that I buy by the tub and some ranch dressing to top it off. I end up eating the damned thing with a spoon.

How do you know it's cold? Is that one of these perceptions?

We had the pan-seared scallops again tonight,with the snow peas and strips of orange pepper in the sweet-hot maple glaze, with brown rice. Fine tuning tonight included higher heat for the searing of the scallops, and the addition of pineapple chunks and (for me) one thinly-sliced red chili (fresh from the garden). Accompanied by a bottle of the Gewurztraminer. I have died and gone to heaven.
